This seems because a corruption may occurs in the RC repository.
Try restarting Distribution Server and Reporting Server it may solve it.
If not, you will have to create a new schedule.

Right click on the procedure and select Properties.
In the Properties dialog select the Server Properties tab.
Verify that the displayed Server node is configured in the Data Servers folder of the ReportCaster Configuration tool in the ReportCaster Console.

Thanks Gerry and Martin.

Gerry, I think the problem is because the server node is not configured. I will configure the server node. Thanks
